Electric Green School motorcycle shows its rebel nature by running Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Electric motorcycles are getting more and
| more common, and while we don't think
| they'll ever quite capture the rush of an
| internal-combustion engine threatening to
| fly into bits as it screams toward red-
| line, they are starting to offer their
| own... unique charms. This model is a
| Norwegian prototype, based on a Honda
| chassis that had its tail chopped and motor
| stripped, replaced by stacks of Nickel-
| Metal batteries, then wrapped in some
| custom bodywork. The bike sports a
| touchscreen dash powered by Ubuntu that
| offers both stats about the bike (speed,
| temperature, etc.) as well as GPS
| navigation and, presumably, on the go games
| of Tux Racer. It's a one-off built by Green
| School Motorcycles and Akershus University
| College, and there's plenty more
| information about it in a video at the
| source link below -- if you speak
| Norwegian.
